Yes. I noticed that (at the time I was studying) many questions in the papers could easily be answered if you studied the booklets. And it's great that you got full in the project, I think about 60-65 in P1 should get you an A*.

that leaves me

Hmm, okay. There's many answers in the marking scheme. Here are some of them:

1. File management.
2. Handling interrupts.
3. Providing a user interface.
4. Networking
5. Memory management.

And you're welcome.

if you guys are talking about OS function then add this too
1. Handling Applications.
2. Multi-tasking
3. Batch processing
4. Multi-processing

and any paper solving tips other than one word questions not being allowed?

They said state the tasks done in those questions... and even in the marking schemes they used 1 word answers to those parts. If they said explain, they you can just say something like "The OS is responsible for handling file-related tasks like copying files" etc.

And also tell me about Intranet would you, I always write that Intranet is a local network designed to share files on local area, mostly used in organizations. Is it wrong?

Intranet also called Internal restricted area network is a private wan used by organizations... its in the booklets

No I think that's a good definition. Make sure you know a few differences between Intranet and Internet also.

1st one don't know
2nd Multiprocessing is processing different task like for e.g an application might need processing for sound and for picture etc. While multi-tasking is able to run more than one programme.
The fraudulent practice of directing Internet users to a bogus website that mimics the appearance of a legitimate one, in order to obtain personal information such as passwords, account numbers, etc while phising is the fraudulent practice of sending e-mails purporting to be from legitimate companies in order to induce individuals to reveal personal info.

ya it says sd in cameras and blu ray somewhere to but as far as i know bluray is a trade mark... infact thats all i know

blu rays are special disks, that can only be read by blu ray disk readers. they are better than DVDs (more memory, faster loading, maybe) but the most important use is that it prevents piracy, cannot be copied easily!
